New Roman Reigns Emerges in WWE
Hoka The Hybrid King addresses physical similarities to Roman Reigns in new interview, balancing appreciation while establishing unique identity.
A rising star from the independent circuit has finally addressed the frequent physical comparisons fans have made between himself and one of WWE’s top talents. Hoka The Hybrid King, who currently performs for Reality of Wrestling and Gremlin House Wrestling, recently discussed the ongoing Roman Reigns comparisons during an interview.
The half-Samoan, half-Tongan performer spoke with MuscleManMalcolm about the physical similarities fans have noted between himself and Roman Reigns, from facial features to tattoos and overall build.
It’s cool to be compared to the top guy. I won’t lie to you. It’s nice, but at the same time, I am my own person, you know? So, I take it as a compliment, but at the same time, I’m trying to do everything to separate myself from him.
Hoka has built a solid reputation on the independent scene and maintains a substantial social media following with 105,000 Instagram followers. Beyond his in-ring work, he has expressed his desire to inspire the next generation of Tongan wrestlers, emphasizing the importance of his cultural heritage to his wrestling identity.
Reality of Wrestling, where Hoka currently performs, maintains a partnership with the WWE ID program, which scouts for emerging talent. This connection places Hoka in a unique position on the independent scene while he works to establish his own legacy separate from the Roman Reigns comparisons.
